    He's getting close to catching up to his total amount of technical fouls......

    Seriously, though, I miss watching him and arguing about how really good he was. (Or good he really was, if you were in the other camp.)

    Aldridge is the anti-Wallace. He gives you what he gives you, uncontroversially. You might wish he defended a little better (something you don't argue about Sheed) or took it in the post (something you could definitely argue about Sheed) but for the most part there's really not a lot of controversy.

    Sheed was made for fueling message boards.

    I'm still a huge Sheed fan! Sheed's a guy that I watched after he left Portland just because I loved the way he played the game. He was the John McEnroe of the NBA. Ball don't lie!

    Both well argued, but I agree more with barfo.

    It's also interesting how much angst the fanbase had over him not taking the ball into the post more when, these days, stretch power forwards (especially ones who can defend at a high level) are highly valued. Sheed was just ahead of his time...he understood spacing. He was very next level.

    I loved Sheed but got so angry with him. He was so damn talented but to often let his work ethic/attitude got in the way.

    He's getting to the age where the rest of his hair will match his white spot.

    God bless and good night.

    I loved Rasheed. I still believe that Rasheed was the originator of that face-up bank shot from the elbow that Duncan emulated and made a career out of. Duncan perfected it.

    Sheed.....Hall of Fame Talent......Grade School Brain.

    Loved watching Sheed when he was into a game. Always wondering if he would help win it or get tossed.

    As a Jail Blazer fan I kind of resented this call. Later, I sympathized with the refs plight. Looking at it again more objectively... it's BS. Wallace was walking away AND he didn't say anything.

    trivia I really want to know: Has anyone else ever gotten a technical for "staring" while not saying anything?
